Chapter 660 Heavenly Book
He compromised.
Or rather, the hope in his heart, just as his divination had predicted, was ignited by her. Though faint, it was enough.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
Before he made up his mind, his master asked him the same question: Would he regret it? Is this really what you want to do? Are you really sure you've decided?
He nodded to each one.
He then asked her one by one.
She nodded.
He led her into the forbidden area of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, the Cause and Effect Pavilion, a place rarely visited by people.
The Pavilion of Cause and Effect contains cause and effect; do not dwell on the past, nor worry about the future.
This place was formed from a meteorite fall in the primordial era, possessing a unique and wondrous celestial charm unlike anything found in this world. Those who can enter this place without getting lost in the vast universe are extremely rare; since the records of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion began, they have numbered only a handful.
Shi Yunyu led Jiang Liqian into this vast sea of stars. In an instant, time, space, location, and life all vanished completely in the boundless starlight.
They are so beautiful, so dazzling, that many who come here are captivated by their light, becoming consumed by greed, anger, ignorance, and hatred, unable to take another step forward.
Shi Yunyu thought that even if Jiang Liqian was exceptionally talented, she would still encounter many obstacles on this path. However, when he looked back, he saw a Jiang Liqian who was relaxed and content, as if she had returned to her own home.
Shocked, he seemed to suddenly understand something.
It seems that fate has decreed that he should bring her here, and there is no way to resist it.
“Here…” Jiang Liqian hesitated before speaking.
Shi Yunyu didn't speak, but gestured for her to be quiet.
Then, he began to form hand seals, the obscure and ancient patterns shimmering with the silver light of stars, spreading out from his body and merging into the vast universe in the blink of an eye.
Before him, a huge phantom began to become clear, gradually, gradually, transforming into the shape of a giant bamboo scroll.
Jiang Liqian held her breath and stared at the bamboo slip. Just then, Shi Yunyu, who was standing in front of her, suddenly raised his hand, put two fingers together, and forcefully drew a line in front of his eyes. A cluster of flowing starlight fell instantly.
He grabbed two shimmering objects with his five fingers and tossed them onto the bamboo slip phantom. The bamboo slip instantly shone brightly, illuminating their faces.
Then, following the flow of the Milky Way, it slowly unfolded.
Jiang Liqian stared in shock and disbelief at Shi Yunyu's bleeding eyes, then quickly stepped forward: "You..."
Shi Yunyu tilted her head, but a smile appeared on her lips.
"This is the first price to pay."
A massive burst of starlight instantly enveloped Jiang Liqian, and she plunged into the endless Milky Way bamboo scroll.
Inside, she gained insight into the truth of this world.
In the primordial era, the gods waged war, culminating in the fall of all gods. The remaining gods retreated to the heavens and vanished without a trace. The demon race gradually rose to power, and its lord emerged out of nowhere, invincible. Arrogant and conceited, he vowed to slay the gods and destroy the world, only to be punished by heaven, bringing calamity upon his entire race.
With their homeland taken away, the demons were forced to retreat to a desolate and uninhabited place, where the living environment was extremely harsh, making it difficult for the tribe to survive.
To protect their entire race, the demons migrated multiple times, ultimately settling on the fertile habitats of the various divine races and their birds and beasts. The war between gods and demons began with the Chongming Bird Clan and lasted for 108,113 days, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides, nearly wiping out their entire races.
The divine son Zhaoli descended to earth, radiant and pure, untouched by the dust of the world.
The vast Milky Way shines brightly in the sky.
The born deity possesses a soul more compassionate than fire and light. Unable to bear the mutual slaughter of the two races, he was granted a new life from the brink of destruction by divine decree. He took tens of thousands of stars from the Milky Way to create a new world, entered the mortal realm, and with his body after the calamity, sought to sever the calamity of the demon race and end the tragedy of the war between the two races.
However, the demon race has reached a dead end and has not been freed for a long time. The Demon Lord's ambition is obvious in the wilderness, and his race is restless. They even sought the traces of the Holy Son and came to this realm to devote themselves.
The birth and death, sorrow and joy of their little world thus begin.
The celestial book and destiny have already determined one's fate.
Zhao Li transcended the tribulation, hence this realm came into being. At the beginning of this realm, all things were born, and all things perished within it.
And she is Jiang Liqian.
And she, Jiang Liqian!
It turned out to be a pawn used by the Holy Son to undergo his tribulation!
Jiang Liqian was shocked to feel the surging wind and clouds around her, watching the starlight gather and disperse, the heavenly Dao sweep away the dust, gradually condensing her primordial spirit and soul, and then putting it into the belly of the newly rising Jiang family lady in Dongjun.
With a cry of "waa," she was born.
Thick clouds rolled and churned, each word etching her destiny's path.
—In the Jiang family of Dongjun, there lived Li Qian, a woman of unparalleled beauty, exceptional intelligence, extraordinary talent, and remarkable bearing. From a young age, she was doted on by her parents and protected by her elder brothers. Through a fortuitous opportunity, she became the disciple of the Immortal Venerable Qingzhi of the Tianqian Sect's Sword Peak, becoming his most highly regarded and promising eldest disciple. Within a year, she had already entered the Qi Refining stage, reaching the Foundation Establishment realm. Three years later, she faced the Purple-Gold Thunder Tribulation, forging her Golden Core body. Eight years after that, she broke through the Core and became a Nascent Soul cultivator, becoming the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator in the history of cultivation.
In the same year, he and Gu Chengxue, the direct disciple of the sect leader of the Sacrificial God Sect, were betrothed according to fate. Their hearts were intertwined, and their love would last until death.
By the age of twenty-five, he had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, just one step away from the Divine Transformation stage. However, a great calamity befell heaven and earth, and demons emerged. Thousands of miles of desolation and yellow bones littered the landscape. Only the heads on the city walls stood starkly, their cries of agony never ceasing. The prosperity, peace, and tranquility of the past years were nowhere to be seen.
Faced with this great calamity, the various immortal sects stepped forward to defend the city. Gu Chengxue, the young master of the Sacrifice God Sect, led the immortal sects in a decisive battle against the demons. Later, in the outer realm of the Xuan Realm, they attempted to perish together. Jiang, desperate to save her husband, sacrificed herself and took the fatal blow for him.
Gu Chengxue, grieving the loss of her beloved, gained enlightenment and returned to her rightful place, quelling the hatred between the gods and demons. She then used her own body to cleave the curse and divine punishment upon the demons, rebuilding a new home for them. The two races were now at peace.
The legendary tale of a divine son of a generation thus begins to be recorded in history.
This is the script that the heavenly book wrote for her.
The collapse and disappearance of the small world after the Holy Son's tribulation, and the return of the Heavenly Dao that maintained the operation of the small world to its origin, is just the most insignificant stroke in the ending of this whole story.
She suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes bloodshot, and stood there blankly for a long, long time.
"From the very beginning, the fate written for all of us is death. You and I are nothing more than ashes that must be sacrificed for the higher mission of the gods, insignificant."
Shi Yunyu turned slightly to the side, and the stars around him slowly gathered into a long, pure white ribbon that covered his eyes.
In an instant, blood stained the white snow, and the wind and rain carried a stench.
His voice fell softly, softly.
Then, like a thunderbolt, it exploded loudly in her ears.
Jiang Liqian shook her head and stepped back.
"No, this is not right!"
"I have no engagement with Fellow Daoist Gu of the Sacrificial God Sect, nor have I become a disciple of the sect leader. I am not the sect leader's eldest disciple; I am just a junior sister of the Array Peak. Moreover, I have a junior brother, and we are very, very close..."
He sighed helplessly.
"Jiang Liqian, don't you understand? Because you disobeyed fate, all the people you loved most died in front of you, and in the end, you also met a tragic end."
"This is your final fate in your past life."
